Our infant care program maintains very high standards for providing daily physical care for each child on their own schedule. Our goal is to be an extension of your home, so we pick up your child’s schedule as you drop him or her off at the academy, then maintain your schedule for your baby throughout the day.
By age 5 most of the personality & character traits that your child will exhibit as an adult have been developed. We believe there is no time to lose in helping each child become a happy and well-adjusted grownup! While we endeavor to make every day a positive growth experience, we want each day to be a special fun day full of smiles.
As we provide care, we are doing developmental assessment as a wonderful tool to guide us in providing just the right experiences for your baby. Our goal is to help your baby reach each milestone in growth with every advantage for later skill development.
Our first priority is to provide a very high standard of physical care by feeding, changing diapers, physical contact and language modeling minute by minute. Physical needs must be fully satisfied for higher levels of development to occur. Doing so in a safe environment prepares your child for learning to love and trust. We know, through observation, the next skills we will help your baby develop.
